Ati 7.12 linux driver and hd 3870??

smooth scroll is off.... the thing is, its not just iceweasel even scrolling down file browsers is laggy (i can actually see a refresh bar as i scroll down... also moving a window around on the screen takes forever.

Yea man this is a huge problem I think. I'm using an ATI Radeon 2900 HD and I get the same problem. Moving a window creates huge lag and scrolling in webpages too. If you are running XMMS you can actually cause it to skip by doing scrolling in a webpage.

AMD 1.8ghz/2gb ram. Never happened before this driver.

I've done some looking around and whatnot and haven't found anything that useful. This might be related to Compiz but I'm not even sure about that. I think I'm gonna uninstall this driver and revert to a generic vesa driver and just deal with it for a while.

Somewhat slow

I'm running a 3850 with the 8-01 driver.
I works fairly well, but no compiz and glxgears gives me only 1000FPS.

This makes my old geforce 4 much faster.

I managed to get the 2900 to work fairly well using the restricted drivers but 3D accel was still bad. I just ended up putting in an old nvdia 7600 and all is well. ATI needs to develop better drivers for sure.
